“He found he could no longer recall whether people had candles in their heads or not. He knew that there was a world of difference between these two notions: one was sane and the other was not, but he could not for the life of him remember which was which.”

Maybe something Ritchie Blackmore, with all this deep purple smoke on the water and fire in the sky?
Well, no matter what, if HR wins this (he won’t), he should rock some Prince; Purple Reign, purple reign.

Boy that looks a lot more sinister due to windows 10 night mode. I love the art in the last few pages, applause the creators. ( for those who don’t know night mode basically just red shifts everything to make sleeping easier)

Their purpose is “at its end”… So, H.R. will probably end them somehow, such as :
* merely kill them
* derez them
* delete their free will
* abandon them (why continue wasting time with them)
* awake some “hidden memories” (the players will awake in their characters’ bodies)
* teleport them away in a world like Cyberia (where they probably will die starving)
* teleport them away to the servers room (probably driving them to kill their doubles)
* teleport where Daniel, Lia and Chrissie are (who are now, if I understood well, at B’Ial Vezk or near from this city)
* awake and free the players and do to their characters one of the eight previous possiblities
* awake the players without free them making they drown (and also do to their characters one of these eight possiblities)
* do like in the previous possibility except he directly kill or derez the players
* awake the players with their characters’ memories (about the character’s themselves, it’s again like in the previous possibilities)
* swap the players with their characters
* etc…
